Hello,

I have updated the project with an alphabetical list of the guests and have added links to their Geni profiles.

The following do not have a Geni profile and need to be done.

Donna Brazile
LL Cool J (born James Todd Smith)
Azar Nafisi
Shondra Rhimes
Kara Walker
Keenen Ivory Wayans

Private,

We should do them anyways.

Azar Nafisi will be hard for us to do as she is Iranian

7/17/2015 at 3:57 PM

Please MP Azar Nafisi

William Owen "Bill" Irwin done - good work. She needs to be added to more projects perhaps.
Private User any tree insight appreciated.

Kevin Lawrence Hanit thank you for the cleanup. It's pretty cool to see that we're ahead of deadline & what's left to do.

One of the biggest hurdles I face is living in the U.S. and not having access to any information from Iran. In addition, I don't even know how well they keep records in Iran. But I'll try and find more information on her.

I was able to get more info from her book * https://books.google.com/books?id=F48X19rfRdcC&pg=PT21&lpg=... '''Google Books''' Things I've Been Silent About, By Azar Nafisi

Bill O'Reilly gave really detailed information on his family tree going back a few generations as an appendix to one of his books. Next time I go to my town library, I'll see if I can find which one it was and if it helps us at all -- unless someone else is eager to do it.

1/5/2016 at 8:45 AM

Please do, Ashley!

I'm not leaving the house again until it's warmer than an iceberg, but I'll aim to do it this week.

Correction - I didn't have the guests for tonight 5 January 2016 (PBS, 8 pm PT, 10 pm ET) correct.

Here's the right list (hopefully)

Ty Burrell (actor)
Kara Walker (artist)
Donna Brazile (political strategist)

Gleaned from http://www.oregonlive.com/tv/2016/01/oregon_native_ty_burrell_disco...

1/5/2016 at 9:31 PM

Ty Burrell
Kara Elizabeth Walker

Ty's ancestry needs to be tweaked if the show is correct.

1/5/2016 at 9:50 PM

... And Donna's tree built altogether. I know her Bracewell owner ancestor & she's Louisiana, so that's geography I'm interested in.

But Ty's story was really fascinating.

The project description has been updated to include the list of episodes from Wikipedia. The new list of celebrities without profiles is: (Episode air date in brackets)

Soledad O'Brien (January 12, 2016)
Shondra Rhimes and Keenen Ivory Wayans (Januray 19, 2016)
Sean Combs and LL Cool J (born James Todd Smith) (February 16, 2016)
Sandra Cisneros (February 23, 2016)

Unknown Profile tree started.

Maybe people who tune in tonight (Jan 19) can help expand the tree.

1/19/2016 at 4:48 PM

Keenen Ivory Wayans added to the project. Big tree but no connection to the world family tree yet.
